The appropriate thing to use in this case would be factions. IMO, this feature has no place in in a default quest.

How do I set it up so that everyone in the plane of love is extra nice if you've been to the plane of destiny before?
Factions again.

How, in general, do we know from a script whether or not we have access to player flags, if not all scripts would?
It's a matter of design. If you need it, then you set the flag. From the script, you might put a comment in if you are worried about knowing whether or not the feature is used (and can't figure it out when you see the commands used).

Granted, the check may prevent unnecessary db access, but it opens up a whole new set of problems instead (or am I still missing something?).
The only problem for some may be that thought and planning has to be done.
